Yeah, to the extent that I use vpath builds at all, it's with the expectation that I can rm -rf the build tree and not lose anything interesting. So I'd be sad if the ability to keep Makefile.custom in the source tree disappeared. However, I have no objection to looking first in the build tree and second in the source tree, if you can get it to do that easily. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
